Default DYNO Results ! 68 Cutlass / LS1 / A4

My conversion is mostly complete. Complete enough for a final tune anyway.

I need to post some pics. I'll get to that in the next few days.

My build: 2002 LS1 with 20K miles, 4L60E, Hightech Motorsports (Elk River MN) reverse split cam 230/226 ground by Comp. Springs & push-rods, Around 3K Coan stall with lock-up. Hooker supercomp swap headders, full 2 1/2" dual exhaust with cross pipe. BRP engine mounting. Spearthech Harness. B-Body plastic tank with Walbro pump. 3.08 gears out back hope to change to 3.42. Electric fans from a Dodge Concord to mix things up!

After purging the fuel line, this fired for the first time so fast I nearly crapped my pants.

I haven't done this before so someone review my results:

Near 370 at the wheels!

Eric

Ya, I'll work on the pics.

I haven't gotten my foot into it yet. I wanted to wait until after the dyno tune which was yesterday. It wouldn't run without leaving a big vacuum leak out the side of the throttle body. The tuner quickly took care of that.

There was light rain on the way home so I didn't dare get too agressive.

Maybe tonight!

Can anyone digest the graph from the dyno tune? The peak numbers look good but what do others think about the "area under the line"

lol it seems to be common that it rains right after most people get a dyno tune, enabling the person from giving a good test drive after the tune lol

id also like to see some pics

Nice looking car. The wiring needs to be cleaned up but other than that it looks great.


I have a '77 442 that I need to get started on but it's very rough.
